Re: ranks

What about people who live together and play the game within the same house?

Too bad?

Tired of having inflated scores and the only way to approach this seems to be this drastic measure unless you have another idea, of course.

Re: ranks

We need to start deleting hacked scores again. There seems to be a lot of them now.

There's pairs of people living within households that actually happen to have decently drastic skill sets:

krunkykai22/ichliebekase - AAAs on 11s and very close to 12s/AAAs lower 9s, SDGs 10s
me/psychoangel - AAAs on 12s, FCs on both 13s/AAAs 10s, SDGs some 11s

Limiting accounts when multiple people within the same household hold interest to the game is just wrong.

EDIT: undoubtedly, there are other people with accounts where two people live in the same house. I just use active players in this example.

Re: ranks

Yup, but there's also people like me who simply wish to have all their stuff on one account. xP

Re: ranks

you could have a "unique rank" (rank according to IP) and free-for-all rank, I suppose.

Now how many people live together and share the same IP as compared to those who don't.

Oh, a fraction? Well, then I guess my idea isn't so bad after all. The majority of gamers who play this game will benefit from my suggestion - sorry to break it to you but you can never please everyone.

Re: ranks

I have a brother who plays but I can AAA VCs and stuff while he can only AAA 4s and under. Also I would love it if all my scores from other accounts I had were transfered to this one XD.

Yeah, well ruining the game for specific people rather than leaving something that's doing no real harm to everyone isn't a good idea.

There's a good bit of people that live in a household where there's more than one ffr player. My brothers play they just don't come into the community and I'm willing to bet you there's many others that aren't in the community that share an IP. It wouldn't be fair to sit there and say that people in the same household can't play. At one point in our house there were 5 of us playing.

If you're going to argue that people that play shouldn't be allowed to have more than 1 AAA on an IP even if it is different people then why don't you argue that they should removed all the inactive players that haven't touched the game in years.

Re: ranks

Okay, here's another example: I played Vertex BETA and intentionally messed up at around 650 combo but finished the song anyway. My rank was 3,700. Then I played it again, making sure to get at least 1000 combo. My rank was 2,500.

Not that I'm doubting FFR's userbase or anything, but I find it kind of hard to believe that there are roughly 4000 people who can get at least a 650 combo on BETA and 2500 people who can get a 1000 combo. Hell, I'm not sure that many people have even posted on the brag board; that's double the amount of people on KBO. Plus, it seems like if you can get a 650 combo on BETA (which mostly regurgitates the same stream) you're probably capable of getting a 1000 combo, so I don't know what's up with the 1500 people who can't crank out another 400 arrows. If you've advanced your skill to that point, it's not like you lack persistence.

I mean, there could be a huge silent majority of pros I'm unaware of. But it seems like if FFR logs anonymous plays, I could definitely be responsible for at least 100 of those "ranks", because I rampaged Vertex BETA at the end of finals week one semester when my girlfriend and I re-discovered FFR.

Two words, Archie: One-handed trills. (In this case, there's two of them, back to back, around the 800 mark, and then there's solid stream for the next 500 or so notes, which requires a ton of consistency to hit.)

Good to have an old pro back.

Re: ranks

inactives SHOULD be removed.

same IP... not so much. there are ways to go about and find out alts and what not though.

i say on Jan 1st on the main page. add a button that you click once and it goes away that says something like "i am an active player dont delete me".... and after a month whatever profile didnt click it. gets terminated. simple as that? idk

Re: ranks

Revo: Harder to mash FC, played by many because it was released much earlier, harder to read. It also takes a long time to actually get to the hard parts -- this isn't a "MASHMASHMASH ALL THE WAY THROUGH" song. It suffers from Massive CBF Syndrome.

DP: Easier to mash FC because it's uniformly cluster****ed (minus the obvious lulldown), easier to find because it's a 13 (any noob is going to play a 13 to see wtf it's all about, esp. if there's a chance to mash FC it).
